Automotive-grade 50 MHz clock in a 2.5×2.0 mm MEMS package
The DSC1201DL3-50M00000: It is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for under-hood and engine-bay clocking where a quartz crystal would need additional screening. Supply voltage spans 2.5V to 3.3V, so the same part number works on a 3.3V MCU rail or a 2.5V FPGA bank without a separate level translator. The standby (power-down) function drops supply current to 5 µA max — useful for modules that sleep the clock tree and wake on a bus event.
Standby power-down for battery-conscious designs
When the enable pin is pulled low, the oscillator enters standby mode and draws 5 µA max — compared to 27 mA typ when running. For a telematics unit that spends most of its life in sleep, that difference extends the backup-battery hold-up time from hours to days.
